This week Eric talks about hearing voices, Joe talks about living in a haunted house, and Ike talks to a well-educated thermostat. Thanks for reviews the show on your podcast app and a big thank you to all the people donating.

Episode #323 of the SMRpodast is online and ready for download, and, no this weeks title is not a typo. It is just the two big fellas this week and we'd normally hit you with the off the cuff, absolutely no show notes, whatever Robb and Chris want to talk about kind of show. Chris, however, did notes this week so its more of a Chicken Wings and Beer / regular SMRpodcast mashup style show.

Your house smells like chicken. Someone made a bomb made of meat! Bring back the McRib! Biting off more than you can chew. The government is shooting candy! Therapy Thursday and more on this episode of The Morning Stream.
